Description:

In this episode of Sense Making in a Changing World, I am speaking with my dear friend Cyndi O'Meara - best-selling author of Changing Habits Changing Lives, nutritionist, activist, film-maker, TEDx speaker, and founder of  Changing Habits whole food company and the Changing Habits Farm - a regenerative farm in Maleny. Cyndi is a thought leader pushing the boundaries of our understanding of what is good food - uncovering what is wrong in our current food system - why it is making us so sick. For Cyndi, everything begins and ends with food.

In this conversation we explore permaculture, health and good food. We've actually been collaborating for some time on her farm and through my course, The Incredible Edible Garden Course which she also offers through her Nutrition Academy.

Cyndi graduated with a degree in Nutrition from Deakin University in 1984 where her special interest was ancestral foods. At the end of her degree she was so disillusioned by the nutritional guidelines that she paved her own path, steering clear of the low-fat diets of the day. Her groundbreaking 1998 book Changing Habits Changing Lives became an instant bestseller and has now been updated and revised - now called Lab to Table: The Truth a bout Food - Change the Way you Eat |Step by step guide.  In 2016 Cyndi released the acclaimed documentary What’s With Wheat?’ which received 150,000 downloads globally in the first week. 

Cyndi educates people so they are empowered to know better, eat better and live better - because she believes educating people about whole food is the key to a rebellion and everyone deserves to know exactly what they are eating.  This is what permaculture is all about.
